The Neo Black Society
hosted a forum on racial dis-crimination
in Curry
Auditorium Monday.
About 25 students attend-ed
the forum, which was
billed as an opportunity for
students to put discrimina-tion
in the open.
"We don't want discrimi-nation
to be something
secretly gossiped about,"
said Jason Caldwell, chair-man
of the NBS Political
Action Committee.
Sociology professor Steve
Kroll-Smith moderated the
discussion.
"It would really be nice to
have a discussion about dis-crimination
where white
people showed up," said
Kroll-Smith.
All the students in atten-dance
were African-
American.
"I'm a little disappointed
that more white students did-n't
show up," said Caldwell.
Kroll-Smith asked the
audience to share their
thoughts and experiences
related to discrimination
after reviewing a historical
approach to the matter.
"What is it about us as a
species that makes us dis-criminate?"
asked Kroll-
Smith.
"Maybe it's innate in
everyone," said Jamaal
Jones, freshman. "To survive
in prehistoric times, you had
to discriminate- 'maybe
these people won't make it,
so I'll go with this other
group instead'."
"[Discrimination] is a
word we're all familiar
with," said Kroll-Smith. "But
every black person is famil-iar
with it personally."
Many students shared per-sonal
experiences in which
they suffered racial discrimi-nation.
"A security guard stopped
me as I was going into Cone,
but she didn't stop the four
white girls in front of me,'
said Brandy Propst, Vice
President of NBS. "I was
mad- just because I was
black, she assumed I didn't
live in the dorm."
Jason Caldwell, the chair-man
of the NBS Political
Action Committee and the
organizer of the forum,
spoke about his experience
with stereotypes.
"I get looks whenever I
say I'm a music major. When
people ask me what I play
and I tell them I play violin,
they say 'Whoa! That's

"We want to develop guide-lines

organize proper rules and regu-lations,"
said Cindy Hardy,
director of Campus Recreation.
"We are trying to rethink the
organization of the other sports
so we have appropriate guild
lines for contacts sports in
order to minimize risk," said
Hardy. "We're trying to get
those guild lines in place."
"We are trying to make the
right decision and ask the right
questions," added Hardy. "Are
they training properly? Is
everything in place? What is
the risk of our students practic-ing
our property outside of
campus?"
Sardone said he is confident
that the risk factors and safety
concerns are being taken care
of.
"The major issue here is the
standard of care," said
Sardone. "Are we going to

The UNCG Wind
Ensemble hosted an evening
of patriotic music Tuesday to
raise money for the United
Way of Greater Greensboro
and the September 11 Fund.
The concert was
sponsored as a special event
in the N.C. State Employees
Combined Campaign.
Proceeds will be divided
between the September 11
Fund and the United Way of
Greater Greensboro, which
announced earlier that its
fund drive goal for the year
had not been reached. UNCG
employees surpassed the
campus goal on Nov. 6 by
over $25,000.
The concert featured
the following selections:
"The Shining City,"
featuring a narrator on free-dom-
related texts by President
Ronald Reagan, and
"Tribute," for the victims and
heroes of Sept. 11, both by
Mark Camphouse;
* "To Tame the Perilous
Skies" by David Holsinger, a
U.S. Air Force tribute from
the Gulf War;
* "Stars and Stripes
Forever" by John Phillip
Sousa;
* "Eternal Father,
Strong to Save" by Claude
Smith, dedicated to the U.S.
Navy;
* "Fantasy Humoresque
on Yankee Doodle" by D.W
Reeves;
* "Liberty Fanfare" by
John Williams, with narrator,
* "American Salute" by
Morton Gould.
"We've been planning
this concert since September
11 and the members of the
Wind Ensemble will do their
best to make the concert a
spellbinding experience," said
Dr. John Locke, the band's
director. "These are some of
the most popular songs that
people have enjoyed for years
and they speak directly to
what it means to be an
American.
"We're proud to pres-ent
a concert that will benefit
the survivors and the families
of the victims of the
September 11 terrorist
attacks. Here locally, we hope
that the concert will help
bring to closure some of the
grief, anger and anxiety that
people are feeling."
